Off the Interstate 40 in New Mexico ,old Apache country, you find the town of Tucumcari( pop 5,363) . I drove down the The Route 66 Boulevard full of neon signs, vintage motels, gas stations , restaurants some open some closed down - iconic , nostalgic and run down . It was in some ways a Ghost Road then on to the Adobe buildings of Santa Fe.

I believe to drive, to navigate, to get from one place to another is a form of freedom. The best way to get a feel of a place and the lives the people live, is through its roads. In this picture, I captured the essence of what drive means to me. It depicts the ability to get to places on a motorcycle or a car, or as a way to host and open their business to the public.
